Bucks and Blues

[Verse]
Love and money, bittersweet,
A tango in the city streets,
I found romance, yet felt defeat,
In shiny shoes with dancing feet.
[Verse 2]
We dined on promises, gourmet,
But cash slips through, like swift ballet.
Her golden smile, a light held sway,
Yet darkness in my mind did lay.
[Chorus]
When love and dollars intertwine,
A fragile high, a steep decline,
Money's charm, so silver fine,
But heartaches in the moonlight shine.
[Verse 3]
We laughed in candlelight till dawn,
But emptiness was always drawn.
Beneath the jazz, a sad chiffon,
A heart so torn, a soul withdrawn.
[Bridge]
Now a hollow echo treads,
In silk-lined pockets, empty dreads,
Forgotten vows and tears unshed,
Depression's voice, the song I dread.
[Chorus]
When love and dollars intertwine,
A fragile high, a steep decline,
Money's charm, so silver fine,
But heartaches in the moonlight shine.
